Way more consulting than normal this week, helping the clients with reports and prototypes. Good stuff! I think I'm starting to get the hang of Q.defer() and promises in asynchronous Javascript. I also got around to getting Selenium working with both Chrome and Internet Explorer, so that should open up even more doors for automation. Yay!

The Emacs Hangout was lots of fun too. =) It's great to have a place where people can chat about cool stuff they're learning or working on.

This week was a good one for cooking: cheesecake and egg tarts for the Thanksgiving get-together, Japanese curry and pesto for dinners at home, and other little things here and there. Nice to get back into the swing of things.
